The new Moon "phase" is when the Moon is (more or less) in front of the Sun. We cannot normally see the Moon in this phase.

If the Moon is exactly in front of the Sun, the Moon covers the Sun and we see a solar eclipse.

No, a 'gibbous moon' is part of the regular lunar cycle. The moon takes roughly 30 days to go from a new moon, through all its phases, to become a new moon again. For a little under 3/8th of this time, the moon will be a gibbous moon, which will either be waxing gibbous towards a full moon and waning gibbous away from it.
